Hey guys, I'm having another problem with the car right now... It first started making a noise from the driver's side rear wheel when I left the ebrake on and backed out of a parking spot, then moved forward about 15 feet. Once I realized it was on, I put the brake down and kept driving. It was making a squealing sound from the back, but I had to keep driving since I was 200 miles from home. Eventually it started to just sound like I needed new rear brake pads, squealing more when I applied the brake...fast forward to a few days later when I pull up to a stop sign, and then my car won't move forward at all. That same rear wheel now feels like I have the parking brake on when it is all the way down. So I just backed the car up into a parking spot and its been sitting since. I plan to pull it off and try and check the the ebrake line as well as try and rotate the piston back in and see if that works. Am I just wasting my time though? Will I definately need a new caliper? I just took the calipers off this summer and both pistons twisted back in fine, but I didn't replace the pads, just took the calipers off and painted them. Thanks in advance.
